I also use the left side of my brain and have 25 yrs. of Business Administration experience and 17 yrs. Bank Finance/Risk Management/Internal Auditing & Compliance experience. Prior to that, I was an H.R professional. When I had spare time, I did a great deal of volunteering for Santa Barbara, California nonprofits (an aspiration is to become an Art Therapist, thus combining my two loves - art and helping people).

I am truly grateful for the feedback on my art and crafts. It really makes my day to share places of the world, with someone who might not otherwise see these places. It's also great to hear others stories about travel and art, when I do art shows.

So NEVER give up! Having your own business is not always easy. If you have the determination to succeed (even if it's not immediate), you can never really fail. As in life, there is ebb and flow in business. Stay on course, use as much social media as you can, as your free marketing tool. Most importantly, don't get caught up in other's negativity over your work. Negativity expends much more energy than positivity.
